Former NFL running back Marshawn Lynch’s trial on DUI charges was set to start in Las Vegas on Wednesday, but he reached a plea agreement with prosecutors.
Lynch was facing a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence, failing to drive in a travel lane, and driving an unregistered vehicle. Lynch submitted to the DUI charge in court and his attorneys said the case will be closed upon the completion of a number of requirements.
Lynch must attend DUI classes and do 200 hours of community service. He also has to complete a victim impact panel, undergo an alcohol evaluation, stay out of trouble for one year and pay a $1,140 fine.
“Mr. Lynch has not been convicted of any offense at this time,” Lynch’s attorneys wrote in a statement, via the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “He has agreed to complete certain requirements which will result in this case being closed as a reckless driving traffic offense.”
A failure to complete those requirements would lead to other sentencing on the DUI charge and Lynch is set for another hearing in May.
